He would therefore theoretically be part of the 1,311 arrests, according to the Ministry of the Interior, carried out in France on the night of Friday to Saturday July 1, the fourth marked by urban violence throughout the country. On the sidelines of a wild demonstration once morest police violence that shook the heart of Bordeaux, this 25-year-old young man was picked up by the police, around 10:45 p.m., in a video game store on rue Sainte -Catherine, just victim of a looting carried out by several individuals with hidden faces.

He did not advance masked, found quietly alone in one of the shelves, then pretending to the investigators that he only wanted to make a few videos for social networks. If he does not seem to be an ace of pilferage, he is not unknown to the police, sentenced at the end of 2021 for a theft in a meeting by the court of Lyon, implicated in several cases of the same ilk in Gironde. Judged this Tuesday, July 4 before the Bordeaux Criminal Court as part of an immediate appearance, he is also warned of having also stolen perfumes from a sign in Gujan-Mestras, with three other acolytes, last March.

Opportunism

The court does not really know his name or where he comes from, Algeria or Tunisia. Now struck by an obligation to leave French territory (OQTF), he would have arrived in France in 2014 and would live today in a squat around Stalingrad, in Bordeaux. He doesn’t have the bad guy’s face and also admits having stolen perfumery (200 euros in damage) three months ago because “I had nothing. “In any case, there is nothing a “rioter” or a rebel, rather an opportunist, there is also no question of the death of Nahel during the hearing.

This Friday, June 30, he repeats, he did not want to steal anything. “He tries to make us believe that he confused this night of riot with a night of heritage”, delivers with irony the representative of the public prosecutor who claims in particular twelve months in prison. The court almost followed him in his submissions. After deliberation, he sentenced the defendant kept in detention to eleven months in prison.
